Saturday, November 19, 2011
The Blue Lagoon geothermal spa is one of the most visited attractions in Iceland. The steamy waters are part of a lava formation.

The warm waters are rich in minerals like silica and sulphur and bathing in the Blue Lagoon is reputed to help some people suffering from skin diseases. The water temperature in the bathing and swimming area of the lagoon averages 37-39 °C.

The lagoon is fed by the water output of the nearby geothermal power plant Svartsengi and is renewed every 2 days. Then the water is fed into the lagoon for recreational and medicinal users to bathe in.
